Taverna Plateia
About
Taverna Plateia serves Crete from Σπηλιά 730 06, a village setting on the island. The taverna opens daily from 12:30 to 21:30, with service running through the afternoon and into the evening.
Guests have given Taverna Plateia a 4.7 out of 5 average across 332 reviews, a strong record for a village restaurant. The taverna operates as a restaurant on Crete, and its setting places it within the island's eastern interior. That combination of a village address and a 4.7 out of 5 average across 332 reviews marks it as a place where word of mouth has done the work.
Reaching the taverna from Heraklion, Chania or Rethymno is straightforward by road, since Crete's main highway links the island's northern towns. Agios Nikolaos and Sitia lie further east, while Matala and Elafonisi sit to the south and west. The daily 12:30 to 21:30 window leaves the middle of the day free for the drive, and the evening for the table.
Daily life on Crete slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening. The season runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer.
